Fred, if any of the guys in PythonLabs has some spare times
and a windows machine, then inside the RAND_status() line,
you should put right after the USE_EGD #endif something like

#ifdef <whatever says it's windows>
RAND_screen()
#endif

I don't want to make this a formal patch submission because
I don't have any windows machine to test it on...

(And if we make an ssl module, it should just have a
RAND_* functions wrapped up and have all the smarts in
socket.py/ssl.py/<whatever>.

I don't have cycles to work on this, but this seemed like
a good place to braindump

Message:
I should note that the SSL support in the socket module was discussed briefly at a PythonLabs meeting a few weeks ago in the context of a bug report complaining that the SSL code here wasn't portable to Windows.

We decided that SSL support probably belonged in a separate module in the first place, so all this might change in some future release.  Especially if anyone would like to fund some work on getting SSL support working across platforms.

Low priority for 2.0, but reasonable patches will be considered.
